FEDERAL TAXATION MUST BE REDUCED.
Bat the great question of Federal taxation mnst
dwell upon at greater length One hundred millions OF
surplus revenues annually are obtained by taxation
upon the country and must be reduced We have our
industries of growth, shops nd factories
upon which labor depends; we have markets upon which
farmers depend sale of their products The
lem Is how is this surplus to be reduced so as TO pre-
all these Industries snail not attempt In uetall
10 indicate the policy which must be adopted by Con
gress and keep the country prosperous bat poIicy
must pursued that will keep the shops "pen and labor
and capital employed. and preserve our market for
agricultural products
When labor is employed trade Is good and tho
merchants prosperous anu transportation
turns profits to the capital and labor engaged IN
it, Will you close up the shops and dcprcss trade Will
You stop the prosperous career Of your city aud other
cities that dependent for their prosperity tho
maintenance OF the system OF government established
the Republican pary' They tell rs that there are 100
different articles upon which taxes levied II IN the
Democratic cry We have already removed largely tho
burden OF taxation from the necessities aud comforts Of
common life they amount TO only about Sso.OoOOoo.
including Remove protection from our native
industries. never loud applause do not favor a
fort he Republic that will extend empire.
